Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the rent for the dwelling had to be split under Art. 16c ELV for EL calculation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No rent split was required because the claimant and spouse used one fully equipped apartment unit, while the studio was a separate, autonomously accessible unit.
Extrahierte Begründung
The evidence showed two separate living units with separate access and separate leases; the studio lacked kitchen facilities and was not shown to be part of the claimant’s apartment. Therefore the occupants of the studio were not sharing the claimant’s dwelling within the meaning of the rent-allocation rule.
